I've added Mr. Linky to this post, if you've made a gift for someone this month, post about it and add your name to be in the give-away. Or, as Mary did, email me the pic if you don't want to spoil a surprise. Remember, you can join in any month, you don't have to be in on this from the beginning. Link is at the bottom, email me if you have any problems.
So, American friends, how was your Thanksgiving? Ours was just lovely - my mother-in-law came with baskets loaded with food. I didn't get any pics of the day that I can share, except for my mother, who loves the camera and just has to make funny faces. I know, you're all jealous and wish she was YOUR mum. Too bad, you can't have her.
My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the few days after, when nobody has to cook and we fill up on leftovers. My mum-in-law makes the most wonderful Waldorf salad, and it's my favorite part, I claim it all for myself. I finished it off tonight.
Thanksgiving was also hubby's birthday, so there are also ton of really
Ok, here we go, link away!

I've been wanting to link up to this every month since July...but this was the first month I finally got a Christmas present finished... just to many other projects got in the way! However, now Christmas presents are about all I will really have time for :)
Well, another month of nothing to show from me! Guess there aren't going to be a lot of presents coming out of my house this year. But I wanted to say "Hi", and I LOVE that pic of your mom. Oh my gosh, she's a stitch!!
Glad you all have a great Thanksgivng...so did we. I'll be calling you in the next day or so! :o)
XOXO,

Hello Allie, I made several fabric bon bon's for Kris Kringles....Cheryll from Gone Stitchin...kindly showed me how...glad you had a good Thanksgiving...Hugs O'faigh
I'm just glad that you share your mom with all of us via your blog. Give her a hug from me.
Thank you for helping me keep this gift "under wraps" - lol. It is wonderful that your Mom likes to ham it up for the camera. So many people don't want their pictures taken these days. This way you can capture her personality along with the moment :)
I love that pincushion/thread catcher. So cute and so useful! Your mom is so cute. Looks like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Your mum always cracks me up! LOL
Oh Allie.. your Mum is so wonderful. Not afraid to have a pic taken..good for her! Yum on the meals...mouth watering right about now!
Thanks again for this little group of yours and all it achieved thru the year! Merry Christmas my friend! :)
Hi Allie, I made so many things I thought I should link up. I love Mary's machine mat and you mum is a real gem :)
Your mum looks like great fun
i would love to go to a real American, traditional thanksgiving....i think it would be great
love the sewing mat great idea
LOVE Mom's pics they are funny, plate looks good and the pincushion/thread catcher is just marvelous!!
Awe your Mom has a great sense of humor. Love the project by Mary, very nice.
Your mom is great!!!!! Awesome sewing mat!
Another poor show from me again this month, and now I'm seriously panicking!
I made one of those thread catchers for my mum last year - they are sooooooo useful!
Thanks for hosting the challenge Allie xxx
I really need a thread catcher.
You have a super cool Mom. I love that she loves the camera. :)
Your mother is such a good support. She is a good sport, you are lucky.
Your mom is fun - please give her a maple syrup kiss from me :)
I like Mary's thread catcher/pincushion/pocket "skirt" - I have two machines side by side on my sewing table - one is a low shank machine and the other is slant shank, so each one uses different feet/atttachments. I'm forever rooting around for the right feet - if I made a skirt for each machine I could pop the important bits in the pockets of the right machine, and save myself some frustration!
All year long I've known that Christmas was going to come and Allie was going to be sitting around twiddling her thumbs by the tree while the rest of us were scrambling...well done -- have some extra hot chocolate. And what a lot of beautiful work you've shown on your blog as a result of your challenge! Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful.
Glad to hear that you had such a great, yummy T-Day. We had a good one too, with the whole family this year. I love spending time with family. Your Mom cracks me up! Good for her. I wonder what my kids would think if I started doing that?? hee hee!
Wow, congrats to all those people who have been diligently working on their Christmas gifts all year. We don't really exchange gifts with the rest of the family, but I do try to make everyone a pillowcase. Time for me to get busy!
I think we all love your mom!!! Again, posting by the hair on my chinny chin chin...if you only knew how true that is...the hair thing :-)!!
I am so happy to have finally completed another gift on the last day of November -- it's been months since I participated.
Thanks again, Allie, for inspiring all of us to keep the creative juices flowing. You're the best!
I entered my entry after the deadline so I wouldn't be entered into the drawing again....but wanted to share my gift for the Grandpuppies. Love looking at everyone's entries. Thanks Allie. This has been loads of fun. Back to working on December's project. Hugs...Karen
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, Allie. You are so wonderful. All my best.
